MIAMI - PennZone -- Son of 33-Year American Airlines Employee Files $20.5 Million Federal Lawsuit Alleging Racial Bias and Defamation

Miami, FL – November 13, 2024
– John Nuñez, son of a 33-year veteran American Airlines employee, has filed a $20.5 million federal lawsuit against the airline in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case No. 1:24-cv-24470-RKA). Representing himself pro se, Mr. Nuñez claims systemic racial discrimination and reputational harm following an incident aboard Flight 1124 in June 2022.

Mr. Nuñez is also pursuing a separate defamation case against Colombian journalist Jorge Cura, alleging false narratives amplified through media outlets.

Incident Summary

On June 3, 2022, Mr. Nuñez traveled as a non-revenue passenger aboard Flight 1124 from Barranquilla, Colombia, to Miami, Florida. Despite urgent medical needs, he was denied access to the business-class restroom. Accusations of intoxication made during the flight were disproven by a breathalyzer test conducted upon landing.

American Airlines imposed a lifetime travel ban and revoked his Platinum Executive status.

FAA Ruling

In FAA proceedings (Docket No. G13-23-021), Judge Douglas M. Rawald reduced a proposed $10,500 penalty to $4,500, citing mitigating factors such as Mr. Nuñez's medical conditions and the airline's failure to de-escalate the situation.

"This decision highlights the need for fairness and dignity for all passengers," said Mr. Nuñez.

Relief Sought

Mr. Nuñez seeks:
  • Reinstatement of travel privileges.
  • $3.5 million in compensatory damages.
  • $19 million in punitive damages.
  • A $50,000 travel voucher.

Broader Implications

"This case is about standing up against systemic bias in the airline industry and fostering accountability," Mr. Nuñez said.
